Böcker av J. P. Mallory

The first book in nearly a century to explore and satisfactorily explain how and when the Irish people came into being, now available in B-format paperback.

By comparing the world depicted in the earliest Irish literary tradition with the archaeological evidence available on the ground, the author explores Ireland's rich mythological tradition and tests its claims to represent reality.

Introduces Proto-Indo-European, describes how it was reconstructed from its descendant languages, and shows what it reveals about the people who spoke it. Using related evidence from archaeology and natural history, this work explores the lives, thoughts, passions, culture, society, economy, history, and environment of the Proto-Indo-Europeans.
